Faith and Belief: ‘The Book of Genesis Illustrated’ by R. Crumb
More articles on this topic: BooksHow do we read R. Crumb’s “The Book of Genesis Illustrated“? It seems a contradiction: a sober reconstruction by a man who admits he “[does] not believe that the Bible is ‘the word of God.’ ”
And yet, the further we get into this electrifying adaptation, the more it all makes sense, David Ulin, book editor for the Los Angeles Times, says.
If you remove divinity from the equation, “Genesis” becomes a human creation — “a powerful text,” in Crumb’s words, “with layers of meaning that reach deep into our collective consciousness, our historical consciousness, if you will.”
These stories are sacred, then, not because they were handed down by any deity but because they speak to the elemental conflicts that drive us as women and men.
